Sales of Hard Drives for the End of the World Boom Under Trump
PrepperDisk is a mini internet box that comes preloaded with offline backups of some of the content that is being deleted by the administration.
I was interested in PrepperDisk because I care about data hoarding and archiving more broadly, but I wanted to talk to Chace after it became clear that a lot of his sales seemed to be a direct result of Trump being elected president. The idea is basically that you can carry around an external hard drive-sized, mini version of the internet with you that creates a local network your phone or laptop can access. Chace admits that an enterprising person could (and many do) build similar DIY products with a Raspberry Pi and an external hard drive.
